[Splashy-devel] Bug#505270:

[Tim Richardson]

v 03.13 shows the same behaviour as 0.3.12. That is, splashy doesn't
work with the same error messages. 

Also, the /tmp/directfbrc hack fixes it just the same.

I wonder why there was so much confidence that a fix was found. Have the
developers managed to reproduce the bug yet on their own systems?
Unfortunately, I can't get a virtual machine to show this bug, only my
three real machines. 

I'd be more than happy to test any proposed fixes before they are
packaged. I'm trying to follow development via the mailing list, now I
will try to learn IRC.

If the Lenny deep freeze is just around the corner, I suggest using my
mysterious fix (the /tmp/directfbfc fix documented earlier in this bug
report) while we work out what is really happening because at least then
this bug could be closed.
